nitascool Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 What grade level would you call this bit of writing, compared to the average child (admitting to not knowing what that is)? My best birthday My eighth birthday was the best day ever, We ate cake and ice cream. I openedmy presents and they were cool. Ihandedout every single partybag to the children. me and my grandma blew up the balloons. Last we played with the balloons. It was written in 15 minutes with no help. I typed it just as he wrote it. This is the first draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H0MEFree Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 NOT that I am an expert!!!! But that looks like LLATL Yellow level (their 3rd grade level) and, in my opinion, yellow level is really second grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 But it looks pretty much like what a friend of ours was doing for homework last week. She's in 2nd grade, but on the older side (8) and IMO a good writer. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 That's very similar to what I was going to say. It looks like what I was writing in 2nd grade, but I was considered advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandamom Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 that it looks like the end of second grade. I happened to read my dd7's classmates' writing assignment that happened to be posted in the hallway on Friday and it was very similar in style and language that you have. I can't tell about spelling, though. Did he spell each word or did you -- I ask because you said you typed it and I know if I were typing for someone I would tend to spell everything (more or less :) ) correctly.
